rbdoa of the temporary military tariff adopted August I bj Ibe war department for the port of HaotiagO, which was a gcneml reduction of 01 per cent, on the tariff imposed by Spam on ail imports into Cuba from the United States und all other countries except Spain. OfeaMj islasi nir Ksasssn itm- nv in t ore.- nt s.miiIImk. The nites in the tariff lllx.llt to go Into force, vit!l some few exceptions, arc greatly below the rates now in force at Santiago. The new tariff has been framed with a view to tbe rehabilitation of the island. The duty on paring stoin s. which are likclv to cut an important figure In the sanitary rehabilitation of Havana, lias been obolished. and the duty on chemicals, tur und pitch and crude oil heavily cut. The iron ore anil steel rail duties have been reduced .".it per cent. Coal and agricultural lmpleunentare pal on the free list 1. AM ISM Mmnif o tiire of s,,W. slitrbt chances have been made in

w ii I,-ii these articles are man in act urea, with a view to encouraging their manufacture in t iiba. Quinine has been placed on Use free list, and common salt cut down more than two-thirds the old rate. In cotton and manufactures thereof it has been deemed advisable to mahn an increase on the Santiago tariff so that the reduction from the Spanish tariff will avcraue SO n-r ci it. instead of i..' p.-r cent. Classifications have been altered with ii view to lightening the rates of duty on the low grades of cotton cloths. In KSMSMfas'' tli M wiiii fürt nrr of Stig-iti OSSJ atMl I'riilf.

Hemp and manilu have been put on the free list with a view to the establishment in Havana of the manufacture of sno;,r bngn and for the protection of the ro' und twine industry already established there. Spun jute has also been placed on the free list, for tbe reason that an American tirtn

now located In Havana has given the j HIM lire that if allowed to import smut htte free, thev would start n fac

lory in Havana within I SCO months In the paper schedule, a reduction has been made of about 10 mt cent, from the Spanish lariff. instead oi nearly W per cent., as in the Bant tagt tariff. t hrtp I. umber for It. I. nil. line . Class 0 is a most important scHednll for iMith the Intnber interests of the I sited states nd those engaged In various Cuban industries, especially, agri . ilf.ire. Tin- tirst thing necessary, after the supplies nf cheap food are available, will be tu n iimve a far as possible the impedimenta to a supply of cheap lumber for rebuilding what has been destroy, d by the war. It been decided to make a uniform rt duct Ion of SO per cent. ii. :ni x ..ii i Mils Isnaaetasl. The entire proposed tariff makes n nt initial charge of S1 pee head on all imported cattle, in lieu of the tax heretofore exacted by the Spanish :;.iv eminent for slaughtering the animals when used for food. The experience in Santiago province, where the president's order for free admission of cattle has been carried into effect, indicates that this nix can be more easiiv collected in the manner prescribed than by fnrminp it out. as the Spanish did, to companies whose emissaries burruuued planters M the collection. The revenue necessities make it iliBil visnhle to abandon revenue from this source. The duties on other animals mich n horses, mules, sheep etc. have nlso been reduced to a nominal rate. The duties on Instrumenta, machinery and apparatus employed in apriCUltUral industry nml locomotion bad hern ehanped from spCClbC to ad valorem, mid it is believed the reduction of duty made on machinery used in agriculture and tbe manufacture of stipar to fl per cent, ad valorem will nid in the reconstruct ion of the smaller sugar plantations. Mi.r. I 1 1 M 1 1 1 1 I Classification of thr K.mmI, BsaaOsrtSk The foods schedule has Ih'cii recon structed so as to make it more eipiit.. hie in its classitieat ioi.a In view of the fact that Cuba, a pen oration ago, exported 100,000,000 pounds of coffee, and that it produces a very fine grade of this article, it has been deemed advisable to restore the duty on coffee to the maximum fffSM is rate. ff I'rotrrl tt.r CSBSM Tulmrrn I'Unler Tobnceo, tbe duty on which under the Bnntbujo tariff wns altogether too low to prevent Ibe importation to Cuba of inferior praih- of MbsnVM nnd Its re exportation as ( nhnit tobacco, has been pat at rate in tba nronssanj tariff which, it is bsllnSed, will effeetilhIIv prevent tiny dishonest practice. In relation tti the question of export doty on Cuban lobacro, onralflntaaef I'orter s,is export duties are iinAmcricnn, and agahnal tbe policy of ihe i nited Rtatea, nod if it ware not for the necessity of revenue, a flat re fusal for their total abolition would be made.
